Yes. All sorts of goodness these days. A lot in the way of food and nice weather. Of course things have started to take their appropriate turn towards fall like conditions now.

Here's one from the weekend. Plenty hot to burn over to a local beach on Lake Superior and play in the sand and go for a swim.

A fryin' pan full of chanterelles. Nice to have friends who share when they score it big in the woods while your at work.


peace all

I'll be honest. Throwin down b-log posts during the summer months just aint easy. On the go and enjoying the heat while we've got it. It's August...and us at the fresh aspect headquarters are foraging our little hearts out. And it's dam good.
Some nice redpines

Little hands filling little bellies with blue gold.

Some delectable fungi.

We forage and we like it!
Awesome mushroom hunt the other day, yielded some choice edibles.

Lobster mushrooms (Hypomyces lactifluorum)...(Note: a mushroom but not actually a mushroom; rather a parasitic ascomycete that grows on the Russula and Lactarius species). Same color as their namesake and seafoody tasting as well.

AhhYEAH! Golden Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius). So incredibly stoked to have found this stash.

A fresh home cooked creation using all local foods.

The ole b-log has been sitting idle, but my body, mind and shutter have not. Been out on the water, doing what i do and enjoying it. What a beautiful start to September. A short recap to start the week off:

Glassy calm mornings

Blue sky, head off to work

Release a beauty of a lake trout...955mm (or 37.6''for the metrically challenged) and well over 20lbs.

Take in the clouds up side down.

Unexpectedly find a small shwack of chanterelles.

Watch the sun go down as we finish up.


Post script...do note that the chanterelles were NOT found on the same day or location as the release of the magnificent LT. Seriously...how good do you think a day at work could possibly be.

for the exception of that of e.....
in which case a certain solid dude known as Ante, can take cred.

A week of jet lag and sorryass sickness picked up somewhere between here and Stockholm has finally started to pass and man, is it ever beautiful here. Full on autum ..and windy, windy like it were surf season on the great lakes or something. I'll keep with the shots from Sweden for now, only because there are piles.

I don't like to get all uppity about this stuff but really.. only 59% of all Canadians managed to get out and vote in yesterdays pathetic waste of a $300 million federal election...booo. Even our good friend who was a couple hours from giving birth managed to make it to the polls. Anyways.
